    Summary

    Shane Hollander pays attention to what he eats. He meal preps and he doesn’t eat sweets and gives Ilya a look whenever he comments on his portion sizes. Sometimes, Shane Hollander has a cheat day, and he has unusual tastes. Shane's palette longs for the biting taste of iron, the tender feeling of flesh between his teeth, and the screaming that accompanies it.

    Or, after having dinner with the Pikes, Ilya lets Shane eat him. Literally.

    Summary

    Leon dances on the brink of consciousness, thoughts and sensations fading in and out as voices whisper somewhere to his left. He catches words here and there, hypoxia… refeeding syndrome…aspiration pneumonia…flight risk, things he might have understood at one point but now hold little meaning.

    He blinks and the fluorescents above him sway. In his peripheral vision, he can see two blurry outlines, close enough that his hair stands on end. They're facing away, unaware of his wakefulness.

    He lays frozen and tries to keep his heart steady, reciting each inhale and exhale like a prayer, observing them through it all. The beeping of a monitor quickens despite his attempts, and they turn to him, eyes wide and mouths open as they call his name.

    Summary

    Ilya was barely back from the World Juniors and had barely met Shane Hollander when his hockey career was taken from him. He was so close to escaping everything in Russia, only to be caught by his brother, ruined by his father, and forced to marry Svetlana to escape.

    Now he's finally on his own, with his shitty studio apartment, his shitty job as a facilities tech in the Raider's Stadium, and his overall shitty life. Nothing could get worse from here, and he has no reason to think it'll get better. Until he runs into Shane fucking Hollander while smoking behind a club, maybe he could get a second chance with the man he's been secretly crushing on for years?

    Summary

    “It's the same, right? You should understand.”

    “As boxing?” When Ilya nods, Shane scoffs. “It's not.”

    “Yes. Is.” Ilya cracks his neck once-- Shane's eyes catch on the stretch of skin before he flicks his gaze back to Ilya's face. He's looking at Shane intently. “Pushing. Forcing. Winning.”

    “That's not…”
    It wasn’t always about that for Shane. Yes, he wanted to win, he wanted to be the best, he wanted to beat the best, but it wasn't about making any other player submit to him. For Shane, it was as much about strategy as it was anything else, about wrapping his head around the rink and knowing exactly how it would go, about executing the perfect victory.

    Still, he can't quite say Ilya is wrong. There was something about it, about shoving another player into the boards, about a clean hit, about a fight on the ice, gloves off. Sweat sticking to his skin, blood pumping in his ears, adrenaline making his vision blurred. Teammates else brawling right beside him, blood in his mouth or dripping from his nose--

    Woodenly, he shrugs again.

    Summary

    A loud shriek and rapid footsteps interrupted their kiss. Shane pulled away, looking down just in time to see Luka run past them, holding a lego block tightly in his little fists, stopping near the end of the table and flipping around, eyes wide.

    “No!” He cried, staring at Dimitri, who was following behind his brother, arms out stretched.

    Summary

    “What’s her name?” Ilmo asked, trying not to actually snoop on the text thread.

    Rozy locked his phone immediately, dropping it face down in his lap. “Mrs. Koskela,” he chirped, surprisingly quick on the draw. “Who else?”

    Ilmo grinned. “Joke’s on you. My mother would love you to take her home.”

    He earned a twitch of amusement in Rozanov’s face, but the rookie’s eyes remained sharp. “I show her excellent time,” he claimed boastfully, an undercurrent of evaluative caution in his tone.

    “Seriously, rook,” Ilmo tried again, lowering his volume a bit, “who’s got you grinning at your phone like that?”

    “Is no one. Fuck off, Kozy.”

    Or; The Koskela brothers are there to talk Shane and Ilya through managing an MLH rivalry. An MLH affair was more than they thought they were signing up for.

    Summary

    Severus was plating the eggs when it dawned on him—quite suddenly and enough to make him freeze, that Remus Lupin, the man he’d been living with for six months now after he’d saved Severus from the unhinged serpentine jaw of death during the Battle for Hogwarts, after he’d worked out the truth of what really happened to Dumbledore before anyone else had and, in confronting Severus when he’d been headmaster, kissed him and promised he would not let Severus die—believed Severus asexual.

    Severus blinked at the eggs. They stared back at him, eyeless and indifferent, steaming silently in the quiet kitchen and utterly oblivious to the psychological crisis they had just instigated. He set the pan aside, the cast iron clinking against the countertop, and leaned forward on his elbows. He closed his eyes and massaged his temples.

    How did this happen? Severus thought, and a barrage of remembered deflections when Remus had attempted to touch him over the past six months answered the call.

    Ah. Right.

    ------

    In which Severus Snape gets therapy and deals with his post-traumatic touch repulsion. Self-indulgent angsty fluff written entirely for the author's benefit.

    Summary

    From the moment he first stepped out onto the balcony in St. Peter’s Square as Innocent XIV, Vincent Benítez knew that the days of his papacy were numbered. And yet, when a costly mistake forces him to resign, he doesn’t come prepared for the grief the loss of his office causes him.

    Thomas Lawrence naively liked to think that he wouldn’t live to see the end of Innocent’s papacy. He never could have imagined that he, of all people, would be the one responsible for it.

    Lost and with their hearts filled with both guilt and unexplored desires, they struggle to navigate the shambles of the life they knew. They find refuge in a place where they least expect it – an old, ramshackle farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, that’s just as desperate for love and forgiveness as them.

    Or: The one where Vincent and Thomas get the retirement they both deserve and finally allow themselves to love each other.

    Summary

    When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
    And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
    And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
    Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

    How many loved your moments of glad grace,
    And loved your beauty with love false or true,
    But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
    And loved the sorrows of your changing face.

    W.B. Yeats

    Summary

    It’s the most famous cold case in hockey history. Up-and-coming Russian phenom Ilya Rozanov mysteriously vanishes the summer before his rookie season. Despite extensive police work, no trace of the young superstar is ever found.

    Shane Hollander remembers Ilya Rozanov. Better than most. And now, several years retired and with two highly successful hockey biographies under his belt, he’s taking a crack at the mystery that’s haunted his own career with strings of what-ifs and memories revisited so often they’ve softened like old cotton.

    Perhaps now, with the long eye of perspective between him and those memories, he can unravel the short lifetime of the man poised to become his biggest rival and best kept secret. Travelling to Russia he searches for stories and the answers they hold.

    If only this damn dog that’s apparently a local cryptid would stop raiding his trash cans.

     
    It has wandered this place for years. It knows every stream, every hill, every tree. Every pale, flat face in the place of straight lines. It does not know this face.

    But it remembers dark eyes and star-dots across the cheeks.
    It cannot remember its own name.

    But it remembers him.
